FASHION ADVICE FROM MR PICKLES!!!
Off the shoulder moustatches are very much in vogue this season. But don't wear with hot pants as that's a bad miss! Sparkley thongs are also very fashionable and usefull if you want to slice your cheese at a christmas party!!
Cheers and happy christmas from Mr Pickles.

Sounds Like
A new genre with a mix of stereocomplex dropbeatbio tune with undertones of Les Dawson. Which makes the new sound "Blackpool Rock"
The first idea for the band came from a drunken weekend in Weston. Where the first members of "Sickbag" (DaveJaVous and RobertJonny) got together. When the two brothers got home BazaMaTaz joined their crusade for no-nonsense fantastic music.
But something was missing and along came Roland. With his solid rythm, totally in time and never missing a beat, you could set your watch by him.
However it turned out something was missing in the personality department, a beat with soul was needed and so we found a local mag editor LegsaKimbo. She's firey and full of fun and loves hitting the skins. LegsaKimbo drew the band together and along came the first song "Gas Man"!!!!
The first practice room gave birth to another song "Das Boat"; Influenced by our surroundings, practicing on a canal boat. What fun!
But due to the break down in DaveJaVous's marriage ' we found ourselves having to abandon ship!!! Along with the challenge of finding somewhere to practice' was that of an up and coming first gig!
The next practice was at a local pub (the Anchor at Epney) in the skittle alley of all places. This turned out to be the first of many to be kicked out of rather sharpley!!! At last we thought we'll try mum's ...she won't mind!?? Well couldn't be more wrong. On our second practice we were out on the street! But worse, it was the weekend of the gig OH SHIT!! We were playing at The Vault's in Cirencester. It was a hot sunny day and they were all there. Mum, Dad, Brothers and Sisters. Oh and a few friends (carefully selected for thier ignorance of music). We had done it, our first gig!!!! And god damn we rock, hell yeaah baby, just read the words "we're simply the best".
And so the practices went on with new song's being written and confidence building. We still had the trouble of finding somewhere to practice, we tried a practice room in Gloucester but it sounded crap so we moved on.
All of a sudden our next gig was upon us. It was RobertJonny's house warming and it was time for "Gig On The Green". We went down so well we had to play twice! The party was cut short though because a good friend of the band Mr New Mikeport. Managed to lock himself in RobertJonny's bloody toilet! Forcing RobertJonny to cut the door open with a kitchen knife what a day! To be cont...........
